Charles Pulliam-Moore at ''[[io9]]'' was thankful that the episode switched perspectives to Rambeau, calling this an effective way to answer the audience's questions and show the previous episodes in a new light. He also highlighted the horror of the opening sequence.<ref name="io9Review" /> ''[[The A.V. Club]]''{{'}}s Stephen Robinson said the episode both provided answers and ramps up the suspense, giving it an "A−". He compared it to ''[[The X-Files]]'' as well as ''[[The Prisoner]]'' episode "[[Living in Harmony (The Prisoner)|Living in Harmony]]", and said the appearance of deceased Vision made him "gasp in horror". Robinson felt this visual hit "even harder after seeing a funny, lovable Vision over the past three episodes".<ref name="AVClubReview" /> Matt Purslow at ''[[IGN]]'' believed the episode's title was a very accurate description for the episode. He noted that learning Maximoff had created the reality to deal with her grief lined up with initial fan theories about the series, and said the reveal was "strongly presented" with Olsen's portrayal of a darker Maximoff being similar to when she faced Thanos in ''Avengers: Endgame''. Purslow gave the episode an 8 out of 10.<ref name="IGNReview" /> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''{{'}}s Christian Holub also felt the episode's title was perfect. His colleague Chancellor Agard said he was normally not a fan of episodes that recap past events such as this one, but enjoyed this because it meant the series was not withholding basic information from the audience for too long and also that the mysteries were not "the point" of the series.<ref name="EWRecap" /> Writing for ''[[/Film]]'', Evan Saathoff was positive that the episode "breaks the whole thing open", but was disappointed that the series' sitcom format would potentially not remain for the rest of its episodes.<ref name="/FilmRecap" />
''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]''{{'}}s Richard Newby praised Lewis and Woo's character growth since their last appearances in ''[[Thor: The Dark World]]'' (2013) and ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'' (2018), respectively, which he felt was one of the benefits that comes from the MCU's long-form storytelling.<ref name="THRAnalysis" /> Agard said the episode was the one he had been waiting for due to its focus on Lewis and Woo, and felt Dennings returned to her role effortlessly,<ref name="EWRecap" /> while Purslow enjoyed seeing Rambeau, Lewis, and Woo solving the mystery, as well as the other references to the MCU.<ref name="IGNReview" /> Alec Bojalad at ''[[Den of Geek]]'' highlighted the performances of Park and Dennings, and gave the episode 4.5 out of 5 stars. Bolalad described the episode as "wildly thrilling and entertaining" and the most coherent episode of the series so far, which he felt made it the best.<ref name="DenOfGeekReview" />
